Students plant seeds and watch them sprout. Once growing plants are placed in different conditions and students record data about their growth. They graph the data.

Young scholars identify the major components of the cell and their functions. They compare and contrast the major components and functions of animal and plant cells

Students determine how the various levels of minerals in the soil, as well as the pH of the soil, affect the growth of plants in these plant growth experiments.

Students use a hands-on activity which enhance their understanding of the 3-D characteristics of cells while reinforcing their knowledge of plant and animal cell structure.

Students identify the plant parts and bee structures that are involved in pollination. They simulate pollination in a group activity and process the information.

Young scholars learn about the parts of a plant, and how plants live and grow.

Pupils successfully start a new plant by any means of vegetative propagation. They select a propagation method which is appropriate for the plant and keep a laboratory journal of the treatment and progress of the new plant.

First graders chart the growth and development of seeds. In this seed growth lesson, 1st graders observe seeds as they mature through the growing process.

Students explore plant life by reading books about gardening. In this botany lesson, students read the books From Seed to Plant and Oh Say Can You Seed? while identifying the necessary elements to raising a healthy plant. Students view...

In this plant worksheet, students study the names of plant parts and the function of each part. There are no questions associated with this page.

Students observe the general structure and organelles of plant and animal cells. Students prepare microscope slides of elodea, onion, check, and cork and identify the cells by size and shape as unicellular, multicellular, plant or animal.

In this edible plants worksheet, students study several elements to a root, leaf, fruit, and stem of a plant. Students complete several questions and draw the different elements.

In this cell structures worksheet, students draw a plant cell. Students draw and label all of the parts listed in the word bank. Students then identify each part by coloring it the color indicated in the word box.

In this plants learning exercise, students compare and contrast vascular and non-vascular plants. Students learn the structure and function of the 3 types of plant tissues: dermal, ground, and vascular tissue. This learning exercise has...

In this living things worksheet, students will write down two facts about what a living thing needs to survive. Using these facts, students will draw a conclusion to how those needs are met.

In this characteristics of living things worksheet, students will brainstorm five traits of living things and fill in a graphic organizer.

In this adaptations worksheet, students will brainstorm a problem that a living thing might face in its environment. Then students will write down what solution or adaptation that living thing has that allows it to survive that...

Sixth graders are introduced to online research and beginning PowerPoint presentations that are integrated. They pass a plant and photosynthesis. Students locate information on a self selected animal online. They give a PowerPoint...

Second graders investigate biomes and the plants and animals that are native to particular biomes. They participate in a class discussion, conduct Internet research on a selected biome, and create a shoebox biome using their Internet...

Sixth graders explore the uses of herbal plants. They read the book Pharmacy in the Forest and discuss the vocabulary words that pertain to the structure of a plant. Students create a summary of what they have read and watch a video on...

Fourth graders study the characteristics of five coastal communities. They use logic cards and matching activities to identify the proper community for plant and animal species.

Students record observations about parts of plants including leaves, roots, stems, and flowers. They use Kid Pix to draw a picture of a plant and to label the parts of the plant.

Cryopreservation-storing seeds in ultra-cold liquid nitrogen-is one method for maintaining plant genetic stocks in seed banks. The purpose of this project is to observe the characteristics and outcomes of cryogenically frozen seedlings...

Plants have evolved many clever mechanisms to ensure that their seeds will wait for appropriate conditions before sprouting. Some may only germinate after a fire, others only after going through a cold spell. This project explores one...
